I would have rather drafted Dareus. However, he is an amazing athlete and has all of the intangibles. I'll wait till I see the remainder of the draft before I unload on Elway/Fox.

I think the same... but, based on CP history... most would say he was a dumb pick and that Denver should have gone after Miller because he can play in a 3-4 or 4-3. o:-)

Hell, if Thomas and Moss stay clean and Crowder is the beast he can be... Denver has fixed their pass rush which has been their one issue on defense.

The Broncos have a pair of ~240 pound outside linebackers on their roster....who can't play the pass....and yet they are going to play a 4-3 with these guys.

So are you going to play them at OLB where they will be HUGE liabilities against the pass....or at DE where they are going to get their ass kicked by offensive tackles?

GREAT ****ING PICK!

I bet John Elway made this pick...doofus.

Are you suggesting that Elvis Dumervil is going to be a LB for us? He will be playing DE with Robert Ayers (who is fantastic against the run mind you) on running downs.

As as of now our OLB's will be DJ Williams and Von Miller. DJ and Von can both cover backs and TE's and can both drop in coverage. They are probably the most athletic starting OLB's in the NFL right now.

He will play DE on passing downs and we will use him in many blitzes on first and second down.

The cool thing about Dumervil and Ayers is they can both drop back in coverage and we can line up Miller anywhere in blitz packages and drop both DE's effectively. We can confuse the hell out of teams with imaginative blitz packages like Dennis Allen used to do when he was in New Orleans studying under Greg Williams.

There are so many ways we can use Von Miller to get pressure. He will not be used like a normal 4-3 OLB would.

“Von Miller is the best player in this draft,” Green Bay Packers director of college scouting John Dorsey said. “Why I say that is you can’t throw away from him. He’s going to put pressure on the quarterback.

“With Patrick Peterson (the LSU cornerback who went fifth to the Arizona Cardinals), you can throw away from him. But not Von

"Von Miller reminds me of Jevon Kearse," said former Tennessee Titans running back Eddie George, who serves as a pregame Fox Sports analyst.

Kearse set a rookie record with 14½ sacks.

"He's a rare athlete like Jevon," George said. "Von can pass rush, play the run — he has all the attributes to drop back into coverage.

"He's a backfield wrecker."

"The Broncos believe that it's a deep defensive line class, so that's why they took Miller," NFLDraftScout.com senior analyst Rob Rang said. "Miller is like DeMarcus Ware — a spectacular pass rusher.

"The speed to get up field and then the flexibility and the hands to dip under the tackles, that's what the great pass rushers do, like a Derrick Thomas."

This new Bronco is not just a one-trick, pass-rush pony.

"He demonstrated that in Mobile (Ala.) at the Senior Bowl," Rang said. That's when he went from being a top 10 pick to a top two pick."

“We didn’t ask him to drop much into coverage because we wanted him affecting the quarterback’s rhythm and timing, but that doesn’t mean he can’t do it,” Sherman said. “He’d line up and play corner in practice against our receivers just messing around and he was able to hold his own.”

Knowmo's homeristic dumbassery is gold.

John Fox isn't a defensive mastermind, but he is a solid defensive coach who should be able to figure out the best utilization of Miller's talent within the scheme.

Still, everything I read says that Miller would best be suited to a 34.

We'll see how Miller does in a 4-3... if Denver can get Austin at #36, that's the #1 LB and #6 DT in this draft ... not bad. Turn #46 into Rudolph and it looks good, still have a number of holes and lots of improvement.

I have no idea what Miller will do, but I'm THRILLED that Denver passed on Dareus. Once that happened, everything else was gravy.

I love the highlights of Miller running past college OTs who decided to block the DT instead. I'm sure that will happen often in the NFL.

It won't happen and that's why it's an amusing pick because we don't have a soul that can consistently win at the POA.

Concur. I really thought big Darious was going to be your guy. The kid is a beast and he can play every position along the DL.

Frankly, I don't buy any of the Derrick Thomas comparisons. Von Miller was a very solid college OLB...no question about it. I just don't think he was the best player Denver could have drafted there.

He may not have been... if they can get Austin, I think this changes things a bit

I disagree. There will still be FA for addressing needs. Picking for need at the top of the draft is not a good idea, and no one had Dareus as a better player than Miller.

Yes, that patented approach of finding really good interior defensive linemen on the waiver wire...works every time.

You have no idea what you're talking about. You don't use the third pick in the draft based on what McShay or Kiper say! Denver needs defensive linemen who can do something other than fall over. Really good DL guys are RARE and extremely hard to find at any level. Perhaps the toughest position to fill on the team.

Do they let you get away with passing off blatant lies as fact in bronco land? Mayock ranked dareus as the best player in the draft.

Good DL guys are very hard to find. In fact, 2/3 of the DTs picked in the 1st round over the past decade have been busts. Not to mention that DTs have one of the worst average longevities in the league, while LBs have one of the best. Reaching for need (especially for DTs) and passing on elite talent is not wise, IMO. It's how you end up with Tyson Jackson.

Okay, one guy. Specifically, the guy that is regularly criticized around here for his projection about Robert Ayers. You got me.

. I'm not saying No. 2 overall pick Von Miller is the next Aaron Curry, but the history of taking outside linebackers in the top five, then playing them in 4-3 defenses, isn't all that glowing in terms of recent impact.

To quote a friend Solder getting debacled by Acho in the Sr. Bowl was seriously the most embarrassing thing I've seen an OT do. And I saw Allen Barbre flail ineffectually at Jared Allen two years ago.

I'm not sure Solder saying he's hard to block is meaningful.

Him getting by Solder isn't what was impressive it was the quote where Solder said that he couldn't even touch him because he was so quick.

Gruden said Von Miller was the #1 player on his board and both he and Mel Kiper compared him to Derrick Thomas.

Meh, just like our draft picks, he is just a rookie who hasn't done shit in the NFL.

Thinking a rookie will make an impact is like masterbating. You will feel good about yourself until you realize that the moment has passed and you have accomplished nothing.

This is the highest pick in franchise history (Elway doesn't count Colts drafted him and we traded for him) and he is the front runner for DROY.

Sam Acho was clowning Solder all day long at the Senior Bowl. Of course Solder couldn't touch him, he struggled to put hands on Sam Acho. It isn't a meaningful comparison.
